Condensation is hard on all components.  I strongly recommend to my customers to take there motorhomes out and drive them at least every 4-6 weeks.  Drive it at least 30-45 minutes to get it up to operating temp long enough to evaporate condensation.  The same goes for generators.  

I hear people say "I go down to storage and run the engine and generator for 15-20 minutes to keep the batteries charged".  The problem is they only run them long enough to get them hot, not evaporate the condensation.  Now as it cools it is drawing in more condensation.  :banghead:

How much do you think you could have a set shipped out here for? I would like to replace the ones I've got, I'm not looking for a freebie or even a price slash, just a reasonable price.

I got my set from Super Wal Mart for 15 bucks a pair. They are called Red Eyes, and work on the same idea.  Oober cheap and they work great. No slinging at all.
